Letter: Community rallies behind Colton

Thank you does not seem like enough. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate everyone who made “Colton’s Cause” a success.

That family, friends and a community would come together, helping us be able to make additional modifications in our home, making it safer for Colton. We are continuously making changes in our life and in our home for Colton’s safety. The only thing that we ever know for certain….is that life with Colton is ever changing. With all the love and support that we have been given, we know that God has truly touched the hearts of so many in an effort to make life for Colton a little safer. We feel incredibly blessed.

In addition, we would like to ask that everyone reading this take a moment to learn something about AUTISM. We would also like you to know that no matter what an individual has been diagnosed with, they are still unique individuals with strengths and challenges. They work harder to accomplish the smallest of tasks in an effort to feel the same sense of accomplishment that we all desire to feel. They want to be loved and accepted for who they are. They want to show each and every one of us that even with their disability…they all still have the ABILITY to love.

Thank you ALL again so very much and may God bless each and every one of you for your generosity and graciousness.

_ Greg and Shannon Straley, Lima
